Apathy on SSRIs

Posted by automatedlady on June 3, 2002, at 19:40:11

I've been on Effexor, Prozac and Celexa (although I'm now told Effexor isn't an SSRI- I have a stupid doctor..) On each I had the same reaction - a few weeks of feeling more awake and able to socialise and get things done, followed by a crash into a total lack of feelings or interest in anything. After a few months of this I'm in a worse state than i am off ADs. It's been suggested that a tricyclic called desipramine might be more effective for me. Does anyone else have these problems with SSRIs and what works?
